El Arenal -- Turism
Ciutadella, a major urban centre, was the former capital of the island of Minorca. A journey through the streets of its historic quarter, declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument, will bring you closer to the noble and religious history of this city.
The earliest reference to settlements in this area dates back to the arrival of the Carthaginians, who populated the island. Later on, in the 13th century, it was reconquered by Alfonso the Liberal. At that time, the island went through a boom period that led to the construction of many great houses and churches. In 1558, the city was destroyed by the Turks. It took a year for it to be rebuilt and when it was complete a wall was erected to protect the city. Within it, numerous palaces were built. Ciutadella lost the status of capital of Minorca with the British Invasion of 1722, although the bishopric remained there as the maximum ecclesiastical authority. In the 19th century, the wall was demolished and new districts were built farther away from the historic quarter, marking the beginning of the boom in the jewellery and shoemaking industries.
Ciutadella's port is a very interesting place to visit as well. Along its coastline you will find beautiful coves like Forcat, Blanes, Santabria, Blanca, etc.

Golf courses
Golfclub Mijas
Urbanización Mijas Golf, Carretera Vieja de Coín, km. 3,5

holes: 18
par: 71
Designed by Robert Trent Senior, the main feature which distinguishes this course from The Lakes is the abundance of trees - hence the name - and its smaller size, as well as fewer water hazards. The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended. Although both are the work of the same designer, there is no doubt there are interesting contrasts between the two courses: if Los Lagos are based on hazards of water and sand, Los Olivos is strategic narrow tree lined fairways and elevated greens.
With its 6,367 metres, this course is the longer of the two which comprise of Mijas Golf. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior, Los Lagos is a ground course with wide fairways and a few forest trees obstacles, but is defended by many bunkers and nine lakes, from which the course gets its name and which easily trap the ball. It is a course with soft movement and large greens. It could be said that the American designer wanted to present a course especially for amateurs, but at the same time, it can present a challenge for the best players.
